There is so much charm in this city that no matter how much I see and capture, it never gets old and I never feel bored; it never gets tiring and never feels same repeating. Here are some things I see everyday in this lovely city, captured on 35mm film (Fujifilm Superia x-tra 400).
Old buildings
Cozy cafes
Fancy stores
Cycles and cyclists
And the bipedalists
Its is one of the longest dyke with an amazing story and history behind it as it stands as the first line of defence against flooding from North Sea. Standing on top of the footbridge, one can clearly see the difference in water levels from North Sea on one side and to that of IJsselmeer on the other side. There is a small cafe with a pier beside it on the dyke and here are some long exposures of the view from there
For the longest time I can remember, jellyfishes have always fascinated me. I never truly understood ‘why’ until I saw them in real life for the first time – I felt they depicted the way most live their life in this world – just drifting and floating away lifelessly, being aimless with neither meaning nor purpose; with the mere goal of surviving to live to see another day. They make me want to slow down and observe my life in this world in slow motion – to learn, to reflect, to dream, to achieve and to have a fulfilling life – a complete opposite of everything they represent to be.
Somewhere along the dijks near muiden, I discovered a cool spot lying in serene abandon and took some long exposures of my view.
